Black puddle under the car :(

Hi all.....this is an easy question. There is the black puddle under the car, it's under the drivers side seat....well just behind it, like maybe 4 or 5 inches. So I was just wondering what line would leak there.

based on the location I'd say brake fluid or you have some serious blowback

Sounds (and apparently, smells, as well) like a fuel leak that is dissolving some body undercoating (or just oil from previous leaks and spills).

gas is a hell of a solvent, could be a line leak?
